WHO ARE WE:John Hattersley Wines Ltd. is an independent wine merchant established 13 years ago, born from a strong and successful background in the restaurant industry. In July 2015 we were awarded Regional Wine Merchant of the Year for the North East of England, by the International Wine Challenge. We followed this up in May 2016 by being shortlisted for the same award for the whole North of England category.We take a lot of time to understand not only the wine itself but the, the vineyard, the maker, specific regions, grape varieties, climate and geographical influences, and other aspects which will inevitably affect our choice. Our tastings give us the opportunity to share some of that knowledge, and hence help you to make the choice of what makes a wine a ‘good wine’. They can be as educational or recreational as you wish, Below is a selection of what we can offer. All prices are based on 6 wines being tasted plus a glass of fizz on entry.

The sessions are fun, interactive and we provide everything you need! We are more than happy to tailor a tasting to suit your requirements… so please get in touch.
